I thought you couldn't even die at the beginning.

You mean when you're at the terminal? Just hide under the table and it should move off pretty quickly.

but what is strange is he got in the elevator...the alien always shows up before the elevator gets to me...and i mean ALWAYS! i try hiding in the locker and get killed

What difficulty setting are you playing?  I never knew the alien could come out during that part.

as far as i know its on the easiest setting...its been a while since i loaded up the save file

well i need some help...when you first encounter the alien...how the hell do you hide from it? i do as the instructions tell me but get caught :( that was about a year ago,....i gave up immediately 

Ok this was probably my hardest mission. The part where you have to find the doctor's card and the first time you see the Alien coming down from the ceiling vent.

As soon as he starts coming down the ceiling I remember running under it and to the left where I believe I entered one of those floor cabinets on wheels. It's probably like 5-10 meters from the vent where the alien is coming down from.

Once he leaves towards the other side continue to the left and enter this room to find a card i believe to enter some other hallway where the doctor's room. But forget this I haven't played in months can't remember the rest.

Just google mission 6 walkthrough or something. :)

Apparently it can hear the tracker if it's close.

What I personally found was that during the missions when the alien was hunting me (rather than roaming around randomly), it would dash straight towards my room at top speed whenever I held out the tracker, even if it was halfway across San Cristobal.

It'll check lockers if it sees a snatch of you getting into it, or if it's just super pissed off; not sure if moving within the locker affects it (other than failing to hold your breath if it's actually looking in, obviously). Apparently the sound of the locker opening/closing isn't nearly as loud and obvious to the alien as it is to you.

Thanks, just started playing the game and the Alien keeps finding and killing me over and over on mission 6, (when your objective is to find doctors office then his key card).

This is where I'm stuck right now.
Man would have helped you but i havent played for a while.

Yup, I ended up having to do that one with zero motion tracker use and vice-like buttock clenching.

The big thing to keep in mind is that you rarely have to use a locker, there's usually a desk/stretcher to hide under or an obstacle to duck behind. And whichever you choose, darkness is always helpful. Keep moving whenever it's out of view, walking should be just as effective as crouching if it can't see you; staying in the same area for ages seems to rile it up when it's hunting.

Depending on your difficulty level and the alien's state of aggression, a flare can be REALLY useful too - sometimes it just sits staring at it for ages.

I believe this is dependent on the difficulty level too.

This always tickled me! I was always so panicky getting into a locker when the Alien was nearby because of the noise but it made no difference.  :laugh:

Can the Alien hear the motion tracker if it's near you or see you if you look around too much while hideing in a locker?
